I agree with your initiative. My concern is how we judge what should be the AotN. Will it be what's most relevant to recent Christory? Will it be most recently created articles? Personally, I think it should be a combination of all of these. It should only contain articles which have been combed through and well researched though. That's just my opinion. Cheers!

Originally, the AotN was mostly to highlight good articles. It later evolved to being whatever is relevant to Chris at the given moment, the "Now." I think that it's not a bad idea to highlight an article that might give insight to current events, Chris wise, but I think given that things are slow, it's not a bad idea to highlight good articles.
But here's my issue - we really haven't had a spat of good articles in a long, long time. There's a lot of reasons for that, and as an admin I am partially to blame. I would even say that articles that used to be good now suck, mostly due to oversperging and that sort of thing. The main reason I haven't updated the AotN is because I really don't think there are many worthy candidates, or at least not rehashing the same articles that have been AotN in the past.
I have no problem updating it every week or two, I think it's silly we have the same article for three months (you sure it was only three months? I'd say it was more like a little under a year it was up) but I don't think we have enough good articles, especially articles that haven't been featured before, that deserved to be featured. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 09:53, 25 October 2012 (PDT)

Recommendations

Post some here. I'm out of ideas at the moment. General guidelines though:


1) no stubs
2) ideally no pages with incomplete sections.
3) Should have a picture
4) Should have more than one section. --Champthom 10:27, 17 June 2009 (CEST)

Srsly, I do need ideas D:. --Champthom 15:43, 26 November 2009 (CET)

I recommend the Game Place article, complete with the blurry photograph of old.--MoarLurk 02:11, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

  • Good idea, that's a better suggestion than the new video. --Champthom 04:37, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
  • MoarLurk brings up a good point - the Article of the Now needn't be whatever the new thing is the reflects The Now, but could provide some sort of background. Ideally brand new articles shouldn't be Article of the Now unless they're really good (and if they're new, they're seldom good). For instance, it's poor style to have the new video with Chris approaching Michael Synder as the Article of the Now - people are going to see this article in Da update on the left, not to mention it's featured in the Picture of the Now. However, The GAMe PLACe is a pretty good article which gives some background into current stuff. In other words, the Article of the Now can help give some insight into current Chris affairs to give people a greater insight. So in other words, an article like The GAMe PLACe is better than, say the new video.--Champthom 04:47, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

For my next suggestion, I propose Nathanael Greene Elementary School.--MoarLurk 19:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Could someone please replace Image:Claw of fail 2.png with Image:Claw of fail 2.jpg and delete the png? --Whoreos n' Milf 21:48, 15 November 2009 (CET)

YOU BASTARDS

I was gonna make CWCipedia the article of the now but someone beat me to the punch.

Kudos. --Champthom 18:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Updating the "Article of the now" every week or two?

Because of the "28 October 2011" article has been "Article Of The Now" for about a quarter of a year (3 months) before it was changed to "Chris and brand loyalty", I was thinking, should we update the AOTN every week or two? We might make some newer or older articles which are not featured before to be featured and we don't need to wait for a few months until we think it's time for the next AOTN. (The longest so far is like 4 MONTHS when I browsed through the history) We can also add three names of previously featured articles (which was what ED and Wikipedia did) so that people can keep track what articles are being featured. Any thoughts? Alan Pardew 08:04, 25 October 2012 (PDT)
